About My Clients
Do you feel hopeless or alone? Do you or someone you know struggle with alcohol or other substances? Are you being dishonest about how much you drink or use? Maybe you have been questioning what happened and how did I get here? When we consume alcohol or other substances we are looking for a release. Some people can find this without the damaging effects it can create on our lives. If you are looking for greater connection and other ways to relax and find comfort, I can help.
My Background and Approach
My name is Laila Michaud; I am a compassionate, humorous, and dedicated therapist committed to guiding individuals on their journey toward living a fulfilling and authentic life. With a profound understanding of the complexities of the human mind and a genuine desire to facilitate positive change, I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and concerns. Whether facing difficulties related to relationships, stress, anxiety, or depression, I am here to provide guidance, support, and a listening ear, fostering an environment of healing and transformation. Your mental health journey is important, and with me as your therapist, you can embark on a path toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional equilibrium. My compassionate yet direct, goal-oriented approach will help you find the ability to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. Let’s work together to build the confidence, relationships, and the life you dream of.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As someone who has over 30 years in recovery I have first hand experience what it can be like to stay sober through through personal life transitions. I have also worked on my own grief and postpartum I know that good therapy can lead to not only healing but also provide a way to reframe your perspective, encouraging you to view transitions as stepping stones towards personal development and new possibilities. By addressing any negative thought patterns or fears that arise during life, people in a strong therapeutic relationship can work to empower and approach change with confidence and adaptability. On a personal note: I have been married for over two decades and I am right in the middle of raising an amazing teenager. I also have a sweet little dog that I adore and a great community of friends who I love to laugh with. My friends say I “throw the best parties" and "could make a paper bag fun!"
